Respected Sir/Madam,
I worked with Blue Dart Express Ltd. in New Delhi from August 2006. They suspended me in November 2011 but provided me with the suspension letter after 1 year of suspension (2012). They conducted an internal inquiry, always in a one-way manner. They did not hold an inquiry meeting for more than 1 year without any information or reason, and they did not inform me about it. Now, they have stopped my suspension allowance since July 2015.
I had filed complaints against them from 2011 to the Head Office in Mumbai, Blue Dart, CM in Delhi, the Labor Department, and HR in the North, but no action was taken. They suspended me because I had submitted company cash the next day. This was due to putting petrol worth Rs. 100 in my bike and forgetting to inform my senior due to a heavy workload. At that time, my conveyance voucher was pending with the company for more than Rs. 150.
Kindly guide me on what I should do in this situation and what legal steps I can take to address it.

Dear Madanagopalswamy,
Please review your advice. The company has evidence of less delivery of cash. The employee may have any reason, but it gives suspicion to the company as to why he did not tell the company immediately about petrol expenses and give a voucher. So before approaching official agencies, he may have to discuss and try to convince the company. The action of the company in keeping him in suspension for so long is wrong anyway.

Hello Anish Hussain,
Are the years correct/accurate [2011/2012/2015]? It's a bit surprising that a company like BlueDart took so many years to decide this matter... for as little as Rs. 100/-. I can understand such things happening in the government sector.
Have you missed out any details? Somehow, things don't jell. Prima facie, since the company has evidence of short-cashing from you... for all you know, they could have termed it as 'embezzlement'... irrespective of what your reasons were, I don't think you have a strong case.
